Re: Need help with 4.7L -2000 dak

If the knock gets louder as you rev the engine, it sounds like the rod bearings are gone. Also, have the oil pressure checked. It sounds like when the previous owner let it overheat, it cooked the oil and made it useless thus causing the same affect as running an engine with no oil.
